Please could someone suggest how I should edit the following album in MP3tag.

Gladiator: Music from the Motion Picture by Aarious Artists. ... On the ZX300 is shows up as six different artists. There really has should not be an issue with albums by various artists. Why can't we just tag each album by album. I could search the main screen under album, but I don't want to. I want to search under artist in alphabetical, as would be normal.)

(Note: I have the setting: selected in playback settings (sort by album artist.)


In MP3tag it looks like this.





My first idea would be to delete all the text in each track (first column) before where it says:
Music from the Motion Picture 01 etc.

If you notice also in this capture, even MP3tag has listed the songs by artist in the first column.

Well It is six different artists- yes? The player is only working with available intel, so, you'll need to change/rename the actual artists to one common name. I do this all the time, in this instance I would probably make all the artists " Gladiator Soundtrack Artists"
If you don't want to lose track of the artists, you could name them at the end of their respective song titles. I usually do this after the title if I want to remember the artist (Billy Joe Jim Bob)

@GreenBow Fill the "Album Artist" Column with something (like, "Various Artists", or what artist you want to find the album under). Then , make also sure that in "Playback Settings" the album list display is set to "Album Artist" (and not to "Artist").

Problem should most definitely be solved, then

Edited to add: oh and you only need to do that for those multiple artists albums - ZX300 is clever enough to fall back to the artist tag, if the album artist one is empty, anyway

That sounds good. I'll give it a go and see. .. Thank you.

Actually, filling Album Artists with maybe 'Hans Zimmerman etc, Gladiator Soundtrack Artists' might work. It might put the album right under Hans Zimmerman, which is where I'd expect to see it. Or even "Gladiator Soundtrack Artists", and just find it under G.

Thank you both, because I looked at this album in MP3tag and was outfaced by so many options.

You can put "OST Songs" or album owner name in "Album Artists" then you can sort by that name. (I saw it blanks now)

Shouldn't long album names be moving during playback so as to show the full name? Mine just stands still and the whole name is never fully displayed.

Edit: Long track names actually move, perhaps album names just stay the same.

Anyone else experiencing random restarts with latest firmware?

Yup especially when changing jacks

Yes.

Has anyone heard the Cowon Plenue R and how it compares to the zx300? I've only ever seen one person compare the two. I'm upgrading from a Cowon PD and it has come down to these two players.

I will only be using iems and potentially portable headphones, so I will not be driving headphones made for home use.

Actually, there's a PD 2 coming out also

Wow, nice specs, wonder what the price will be.

That is some significant power for a portable out of balanced. Any other info besides this such as release window or target price?

Edit: Cannot seem to find the origin of this, do you know the source of this image?

No random restarts here, but it did restart once when I was deleting a folder from the SD card. It got stuck for some 30 seconds on the deleting screen and then restarted and that gave me a scary moment. No more deleting stuff with it from now on, just playback. Database rebuild time is much faster, but did not notice a better audio quality.

Any different in sound signature and SQ between version G and normal?
